Video Description
Michael Jewett is a bioengineer who wonders if we can create equitable and distributed biotechnologies for the good. In this thought-provoking and insightful talk, he lays out a vision to re-think how biotechnologies are created and shared, made possible by biology without cells. Can just-add-water biotechnology turn us all into biomakers? Listen and learn how engineered biological systems are opening access to medicines, diagnostics, and more. Dr. Michael Jewett is the Director of the Center for Synthetic Biology and Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Northwestern University. Dr. Jewett’s research focuses on advancing synthetic biology research in support of planet health and societal health. This work is creating biotechnologies for decentralized biomanufacturing, portable diagnostics, and educational kits to serve human needs. He co-founded SwiftScale Biologics, Stemloop, Inc., Pearl Bio, Induro Therapeutics, and Design Pharmaceuticals. Jewett is a Fellow of AIMBE, AAAS, and NAI. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
